Former Fiesta Bowl CEO John Junker will have a few more weeks of freedom, as a judge postponed his Thursday sentencing.

Junker pleaded guilty in February and March in state and federal courts to crimes in connection with a scheme in which the Fiesta Bowl illegally contributed to political campaigns. He is facing a prison sentence of up to 2.5 years.

Arizona will be in the national spotlight this week as SB1070 takes two of the nation’s most prominent stages.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will referee another major clash between the Obama administration and the states, this one over Arizona’s crackdown on illegal immigrants. The case could add fuel to the partisan split over tough state immigration laws backed by Republicans but challenged by the administration.

An audio recording has surfaced of an Arizona sheriff playing his refusal to cooperate in a racial profiling investigation for laughs at a fundraiser for an anti-illegal immigration group in Texas.

State officials are planning to honor Arizona crime victims and their advocates.

A luncheon and awards presentation will be held today at the state Capitol for victims and their families. The event will mark the start of National Crime Victims’ Rights Week.

Duane Belcher, chairman and executive director of the Arizona Board of Clemency, is on his way out after 20 years, as three new appointees take their places on the panel now made up entirely of Gov. Jan Brewer’s picks.

A provision in an Arizona bill that riled Twitter and Facebook users for making it criminal to annoy or offend someone online has been dropped.

Legislative budget staffers are re-evaluating a proposed $10 million sweep of a Supreme Court fund after court officials howled that losing the money would cripple courts across Arizona.

The legislative budget proposal targets the Supreme Court Automation Fund, which is supplied by fees for defensive-driving classes, time payment fees for people who make payments on their court fines, and surcharges on fines.

For the second year in a row, Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill that would have allowed people to carry guns in government buildings.

HB2729 would have required any government entity in Arizona to allow firearms in public buildings, unless the buildings had adequate security measures to ensure that no one could bring a gun inside.

Backers of Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio will stage a march in Fountain Hills to show their appreciation for the sheriff and help support him at a time when he faces some of his toughest criticism.

The march will be held on Saturday, April 28.
